Default Looking to Buy my First Camaro

Unfortunately the best way to find any potential problems is to drive it first. As for the T-Tops we have had new weather stripping put on ours but it still leaks.

definitly check for any smoke coming out of the exhaust... with and older american engine if the previous owner beat the car that might be bad news, you wouldnt want to have to rebuild an engine right after you buy the car.

well i just got back from checking out the camaro and well the exterior and interior were in mint condidtion allong with the underbody. But when i popped the hood i found a a 5.7 350...but this engine was in need of a complete rebuild,new trans,new rearend, and a driveshaft. I almost bought it, but i remembered i still have a project going and i don't need another one So much for my first camaro...oh well i'll find a good one one of these days
